Introducing the Invites series.
A new series where we hand over the curation to artists we admire, inviting them to shape a night around the people and sounds that inspire them.
For the first edition, VNTM takes over with a lineup dedicated entirely to techno live performance. VNTM is an Amsterdam based live act and musician that has been playing his take on techno at numerous big festivals around the globe, appearing with his machines and only playing out his own material. Joining him are Noem Waal, the new live project of Anna Randt & Papi Gaba, and Serti.

At the core of his work lies a deep fascination with sound itself. Combining modular systems, modern synthesis and analog outboard gear, he crafts immersive sonic worlds where every detail is carefully shaped. His approach is both technical and intuitive, driven by curiosity, experimentation and a desire to create music that feels alive.
His sound is based on harmonic exploration and storytelling, compounded with heavy distorted drums, a technologically advanced soundpalette and futuristic sound-design approach incorporating the latest synthesizer innovations.
His infamous Mindscape nights currently residing at one of Amsterdam’s most vibrant clubs Lofi have seen him invite a multitude of international acts such as Len Faki, Kangding Ray, Sterac, Ame, Recondite, Polygonia, Luigi Tozzi, Vril, Jakojako and many more.
Some recent key-shows include his debut on the Awakenings Festival Mainstage, an all-night-long liveset at Lofi Amsterdam and a sold-out debut at Refuge NYC!
Popronde brings ANTIA a night of EBM, dark wave and electro-industrial.

Vonder is the project of Ellenor Vora and Benjamin Sch (Noire Antidote). Vonder balances between club-oriented energy and spooky intensity, with influences from Darkwave, EBM and Electro-Industrial.

The duo got to know each other online through the Isolation Sessions. An initiative organized by The Super-Nova Studio to still be able to play an online live show during covid pandemic time in pop venue Effenaar. It soon became clear that within this collaboration, everything fell into place.
Four artists, from four corners of the Netherlands, united for one sound: raw, filthy, distorted acid.

With a strong sense for tension, energy, and atmosphere, she creates immersive journeys that move seamlessly between deep hypnosis and peak-time intensity.
As a resident DJ at Karlsruheʼs renowned GOTEC Club and represented by Obsidian Agency, SAIKA has steadily expanded her presence beyond the local scene. She has performed at respected venues such as RSO Berlin, Nordstern Basel and DNA Munich, as well as major events including Ikarus Festival.
Driven by authenticity and a deep connection to the dancefloor, SAIKA continues to captivate audiences with her distinctive sound, combining timeless old-school techno and high energy newschool techno styles.
Then came the passion for digging, my taste getting more specific over time and now I like playing sets that are hypnotic, unfiltered, tribal and dark in a sense that could unleash the discomfort in all of us. I have connected with techno the most over time and I believe that it can bring resilience and unity. The idea of this collective presence is what drives me to dig more and more and I really enjoy DJing a lot. I approach my sets fresh every time, from scratch I build playlists based on my current taste and I try to stay open to new kinds of music to find tweaks and create spontaneity.
Drum & Bass, Jungle and much more: step into a night of breakbeats, dubby half-step grooves and endless sub weight.
Adi-J and Gremlinz both started their journey into DnB back in the mid-90s, when what we now call Jungle was simply DnB. Over 30 years deep, they know exactly what keeps a crowd moving and heads bobbing.

There is no DJ like Adi-J. Put her on the decks and the people will dance; relentlessly. On a night behind the turntables she brings a 1000 tracks and plays just 90 of them, but she’s not winging it. She’s flying on over 30 years of experience behind the decks. If you have been around in Drum and Bass since ’96 you have heard about her. She brings uncompromised versatility to every party, playing different styles for different ears each time. And her story is as unique as her selection.
She started out DJ’ing in 1996 in Tel Aviv – back when jungle was what we now know as drum and bass - quickly making a name for herself in Europe. If you we’re a DJ in Britain back in that time, you we’re playing in her hometown. Since moving to the Netherland in ’98 it has been nothing but love for the beating heart of the rave. She even graduated from the School of Audio Engineering there. Playing at festivals all over Europe from Glastonbury to Outlook or Rampage, she has seen them all.
The Amsterdam based force behind the wheels of steel still has that same traction as all those years ago, spinning heads and decks in 2024 with a drive like it’s still ’96. Like we mentioned – she is nothing short of a DJ who makes people dance; relentlessly. Now that’s Adi-J.
Toronto-based producer and DJ Gremlinz' journey into Drum & Bass began in the mid-90s when the raw energy and intricate rhythms of Jungle captivated him. Immersed in the culture, he quickly moved from collecting records to DJing and producing. After years of honing his craft, Gremlinz made his debut in 2004 with a track on Metalheadz’ MDZ04 LP, a significant milestone, especially considering his longstanding admiration for the label.
Since then, Gremlinz has released music on a range of respected labels including Architecture Recordings, Renegade Hardware, 31 Records, Cylon, Rupture, AMAR, and Paradox Music. His versatility is evident in his broad range of output, from breakbeat-heavy tracks to atmospheric, dubby half-step grooves—always pushing the boundaries of Drum & Bass while staying true to his roots.
As a DJ, Gremlinz brings a straightforward, no-frills approach to his sets, focusing on raw energy and subtle groove. His unique sound and style have earned him a loyal following worldwide, and his affiliation with Loxy & Ink’s HORSEMEN collective has further solidified his place among some of the genre's most forward-thinking artists.
